Chelsea have sacked Thomas Tuchel in typically cut-throat fashion.
Blues owner Todd Boehly has wielded the axe for the first time since taking the reins at Stamford Bridge and is already plotting to replace the out-of-work German. A run of just two wins from first six games in the new season has resulted in Tuchel's departure, with Tuesday's shock 1-0 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League pulling down the curtain on his 21-month tenure.
Chelsea became European and world champions during the 49-year-old's rollercoaster time in charge, but now the Blues' task is to find a worthy successor and ensure that their £270m spending spree in the summer transfer window isn't squandered.
